Eastern, on friday, right after, right after the rachel maddow show, we re going to be showing my new movie. My new documentary which is called from russia with lev.

And then right after that at 9:00 p. M. Eastern we will premiere my new movie and its first documentary for my new production company a movie called from russia with lev with the absurd story of trump s first impeachment and a lot of stuff you didn t know about. Very excited for you to see about it and now it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. We have senator whitehouse joining us tonight after the black buster blockbuster reporting on what is going on inside the supreme court with the chief justices and this is reporting like we have never seen before about how they arrived at that immunity decision. That reporting was based on source documents that don t exist in journalism. I know they exist in the real world, but you never ever see any of the journalism that says based on these documents we obtained from inside the supreme court, it doesn t happen and that is a unicorn. It is really striking to hold that in my hands reading it to think the supreme court is cracking i

The beat with Ari Melber starts right now. Happy monday. Happy monday and thank you, i appreciate it. I welcome everyone to The Beat and we begin the program covering the developments in the terrible, Near Miss Type Incident at Donald Trumps Golf Course on sunday. The secret Service Opening Fire after seeing a gun that was pointed inside the course, inside the area where the former president was. More details on exactly that exchange of gunfire and what happened and i can tell you with the most recent information, federal authorities are treating this as a second Assassination Attempt. The first occurred at the Pennsylvania Rally with shots fired, agents killing the shooter, and a Rally Attendee being fatally shot. Here, authorities have apprehended the suspected gunman, alive. 58yearold Ryan Routh charged with two federal counts of gun possession. The authorities are stressing how the investigation for determining the motive, thats an ongoing investigation and they also praised the re
Whether it is any harder these days to get up for all of the rehearsing, all of the preparation, all of the gruelling physical endurance you have to have for a daily play? everybody works, you know. Even the prime minister works, the president works. Everybody works, or plays either one and then sleeps. So that s all, that s all we do. And it s not hard to go to work with this play. It s really such a pleasure doing it, and with vanessa redgrave and boyd gaines especially. I just wonder if this play particularly resonates with you, because it s set in atlanta, in the south, during the era of segregation. And, of course, you were born and raised in your very earliest years in mississippi during the era of segregation. Does this particularly have meaning for you? mmhm. Yeah, i. . . I can say, honestly, i know a lot about it, and i wish others knew about it and that s partly why it s important to do plays like this. And, luckily, we have a play here. . . . . Which is not about polemics.
